There is a solar eclipse when the moon passes between the sun and Earth. The sun will be obscured by the moon in a partial eclipse today, giving it a crescent shape.

The portion of the sun blocked by the moon varies depending on the location of the viewer. The sun will be obscured by the moon for viewers just south of the southern tip of South America.

The eclipse will only be visible from areas in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, the Antarctic and some South America countries.

It is important for viewers located within the path of the eclipse to wear special protective eyewear or certified eclipse glasses in order to observe the sun. Don't use the wrong gear or look at the sun directly with your eyes, as this can burn your eyes and cause permanent damage.
